Description
*LETTERPRESS CARD (letterpress printing) Letterpress is a traditional printing technique that uses a letterpress plate to print by applying pressure to paper. This technique was widely used before the current mass production and efficiency of offset and digital printing. Recently, the unique texture of letterpress printing (especially the beauty of the indentations and text outlines created by applying pressure to the paper) is being reevaluated, and special printed materials such as greeting cards, invitations, and business cards are becoming popular, especially among young people in North America and Europe, as new design* letterpress printing studios are starting up. Yamamoto Shigyo paid attention to letterpress printing from early on and introduced a Heidelberg Windmill machine manufactured in the 1950s to master the technique. Contrary to the rugged and heroic atmosphere of a locomotive without a liquid crystal display or computer, the printed materials produced by this press are delicate and lovely, with a unique texture and feel that evokes a sense of nostalgia. Yamamoto Shigyo's Letterpress Cards have attracted attention from overseas and are now being shipped widely throughout the world. These uniquely designed cards are sure to please those who wish to congratulate or send a personalized message. Letterpress Card Series Simple illustrations that look like a stamp on a soft paper. The uneven surface of the stamp adds a nostalgic touch. |

活版印刷とは凸版を用いて、紙に対して加圧することにより印字させる旧来の印刷技法です。
現在のオフセット 印刷やデジタルプリントによる大量生産化、効率生産化される前は広くこの技法が使われていました。昨今は活版印刷による独特な風合い(特に紙に対して加圧することにより生まれる凹みや文字輪郭の美しさ)が 見直され、北米やヨーロッパの若者を中心に新たなデザイン・活版印刷工房が立ち上がりグリーティングカード、 招待状、名刺などいったスペシャルな印刷物が人気です。山本紙業は早くからこの活版印刷に注目し、その技術 を習得すべく1950年台に製造されたHeidelberg社Windmill機を導入しました。液晶画面もコンピューターも 付いていない、まるで機関車のように無骨で勇ましい雰囲気とは反対に、この印刷機から生み出される印刷物は 繊細で愛らしく、独特な風合いと手触りにどことなく懐かしさを感じます。山本紙業のLETTERPRESS CARDは海外からの注目も受け、広く世界に出荷されるようになりました。
オリジナ ルデザインのユニークなカードでお祝いや個性的なメッセージを添えればきっと喜ばれることでしょう。
